Fearfully and Wonderfully Made - A Prayer by Dawn Ferrett

O Father God, You fashioned me
Inside my mother's womb.
You wove Your pattern through me
As though upon a loom.

My soul is ever thankful
That You never hide Your face,
And I know I will find solace
Knowing I am in Your Grace.

You know me inside out, Lord,
My weakness and my strength.
I know You go before me,
And we will meet at length.

Your Word will be my beacon,
Even through the darkest night.
Your Spirit, here within me,
Will be my guiding light.

Nothing can come against me,
Nor steal away my heart.
You're with me, Lord, forever.
We never more will part.

For I know I am a child of God.
No fear shall overtake me.
I lay my trust in God Most High.
He will not forsake me.

In the name of my Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Son of God,

Amen


Psalm 139 NKJV - My Favourite Psalm

1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.5 You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.11 If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me," Even the night shall be light about me;12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb.14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.20 For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain.21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties;24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Slips, Trips & Falls

Many of us are unaware
That there are dangers everywhere.

Spillages from making drinks
Turn walkways into skating rinks.

Tripping on objects in our path
Could cause a painful aftermath.

A fall down stairs - not holding the rail
Could leave you feeling somewhat frail.

So heed these words - take them to heart!
Be fully aware! Be safe! Be smart!

If you have been a mucky pup,
Please take the time to wipe it up.

When you go to wash your paws
Don't leave great puddles on the floors.

Trip hazards must be stowed away
And made secure to save the day.

On stairs, be sure to hold on tight
To banisters with all your might.

Safety first! Yes, that's the key
To save a trip to A and E!

Broken

Do you ever feel the slightest pang
Of sorrow or remorse?
Do you wish things hadn't come to such a pass?

Have you ever felt the stabbing pain
That comes when all is lost,
Like your heart is being pierced by shards of glass?

In the shadows of a lonely night
Do teardrops fill your eyes?
Are you racked with helpless grief for what we had?

Would you give the whole wide world and more
To erase those prideful words
That changed what once was good and made it bad?

I hope someday you'll read these words
And think about what was.
Perhaps you'll reminisce and gently smile.

Then maybe you'll think kindly of
The woman you once loved
And remember life was blissful for a while!
